Chapter 847: Vol V Chapter 207

Speaking of which, that Holy Spirit who possessed Earl Hauss was quite low on luck.

His skill was extremely brilliant. Even the God of War, Wenner, who was a master among the gods who were great Divine Powers, was unable to detect his abnormality without close observation. And with his ability, once a great Divine Power managed to observe him at close range, he could immediately detect something and be able to make a timely response.

However, just as man proposes, God disposes. Sui Xiong’s sensing ability was completely different from the ordinary Divine Powers. Sui Xiong’s understanding of the soul was far beyond the level of ordinary gods, so Earl Hauss’ concealing means did not work at all. He was quickly seen through.

If only Sui Xiong was here, perhaps being seen through was not a big deal. Sui Xiong might just feel that this person’s soul was too strong, or probably some devil from hell had invaded this mortal’s body—anyway, given Sui Xiong’s intelligence quotient and this impression of the gods and Holy Spirits, he would never make a guess in the direction of “possession of the body by the Holy Spirit.”

From his point of view, the gods should always follow the rules in everything they did, but there would always be some bottom line. Even if it was a god as evil as the God of Fear… Well, that was not a good example. That fellow really seemed to have no bottom line at all.

But the God of Fear was dead. His followers and allies who like him, had no bottom line to speak of, were all dead as well. The one who had sent them to meet their doom was none other than Sui Xiong himself.

Sui Xiong had always abhorred those people who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. He felt that the most appropriate way out for such people was for them to become corpses, where they could then give back to society in the form of fertilizer.

So he had originally planned to help Earl Hauss and his men complete such a useful process of giving back to society as soon as possible. But that remained his intention only up to the point where he was persuaded by Wenner.

But now, he wanted to do something like that himself. He wanted to help that Holy Spirit of unknown origin give back to society.

“I’ll advise you not to make a move,” said Wenner, who saw through his intention. Wenner advised by saying, “Let’s just watch by the side. It’s not too late for you to step in if your followers can’t subdue him.”

“The mere thought of me breathing the same air as this fellow makes my mind somewhat witless,” Sui Xiong complained. “If my mind is witless, whatever food I eat and whatever wine I drink won’t taste good. Even when I sleep, I’ll feel as though my bed is digging into my back. It’s very uncomfortable!”

“Such an opponent is hard to come by,” Wenner said. “If it wasn’t too late to make preparations, I would have wanted to get the few among my followers, who are at the advanced legendary level, to take part in this battle as well.”

“Why?”

“Holy Spirits are usually at least within the realm of Demigod Masters. There are many Holy Spirits who are even strong enough to compete with real gods without falling behind. For the people of the Legendary Realm, to be able to put in all their might and fight such an opponent in a most courageous battle can allow them to stimulate their own potential. The dangerous battle could also allow them to ascertain the path they should take, and they will be able to feel the Demigod Realm more clearly and intuitively,” Wenner said. “After going through a battle like this, in the future, it’ll be much easier for one to step into the Demigod Realm as compared to anyone else. We have done statistics that show that people who have undergone the skip-level challenges without sustaining serious injuries are at least twice as likely to achieve breakthroughs.”

“I can give them divinity directly and help them break through,” Sui Xiong said.

“Of course you can help, but if you have hopes of them being able to make further progress on the basis of the Demigod Realm and eventually be sealed as gods in the future, then it’d be best if you could allow them to break through with their own strength.”

Sui Xiong was silent for a while, then nodded.

“You’ve convinced me. I’ll show some patience, sit tight and wait to see just how that fellow meets his end.”

They did not wait long.

That night, the weather was fine. The sky was full of stars, without a single dark cloud in sight.
